Abusing The Privilege
"No, I'm afraid not, sir, it has been very popular."
"Very well. Do you have any recommendations?"
"With your meal I think the Shiraz would make an excellent accompaniment."
"I will have the Shiraz, then, thank you."
"Excellent. Here is the bottle."
"Mm. Yes, looks good."
[Sommelier pours a taste of wine, gives it to the diner]
"Is it to your liking?"
"You know, I never do this, but no. I was expecting a more balanced fruit flavor."
"That is no problem. My mistake. Perhaps you would like to try this Cabernet? It is very subtle."
"Yes, sounds perfect."
[Sommelier pours a taste of wine, gives it to the diner]
"Is it to your liking?"
"Oh, my. I'm so, so sorry. I was just thinking of something with more notes of kirsch and clove."
"So you want a wine that is exactly like the Dry Stack Grenache?"
"I guess so."
"But we do not have that wine."
"I guess not. A pity."
"So what exactly would you like me to do, sir?"
"Can you mix together a bunch of wines to approximate the Dry Stack?"
"No, sir."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, sir."
"But you are a sommelier."
"Yes, sir."
"Isn't that what you do?"
"Absolutely not, sir."

2008 Dry Stack Vineyard Bennett Valley Grenache 750ml 3-Pack
Their fifth varietally designated Grenache wine to come from the rocky soils of the Bennett Valley AVA, a cooler sub-region of the Sonoma Valley Appellation. Aged in 100% French Oak, none of which is new, to allow this region's Grenache to express its true character. This exotic aromatics and balanced fruit flavor are what make this region so unique. The ’08 Grenache shows red fruits, along with kirsch, clove, black currants and pepper spice. This wine has depth and focus, yet retains elegance and restraint through its balance.

Broc Cellars was nothing more than an idea not that long ago, about making wines that were “site specific.” Where the wines true character came from using only sustainable, organically, or biodynamically grown grapes from areas that most would consider marginal climates. Believing that vineyards develop ‘true’ character and complexity when they have to struggle to survive. This can come from many different aspects: poor nutrient and water holding capacity, steep slopes, cool temperatures, or from old vines that are dry farmed. In the cellar we try to continue this practice using minimal intervention, in an effort to let the grapes speak for themselves. We are a ‘low wattage' winery in the sense that we have very little modern equipment. Grapes are pitch-forked whole-cluster into the fermenters, fermentation is allowed to happen spontaneously, all wines are basket pressed, with little/no sulphur used in our wines until bottling.
